中国学生高考成绩正逐渐受到国外大学认可
The gaokao, China's national college entrance exam,is winning more recognition as a way for universities overseas to evaluate Chinese students, recruiting officers said.
据相关负责招生的官员表示，海外高校已经将高考作为衡量中国学生的重要标准。
Stanley Nel, vice-president of international relations at the University of San Francisco in the United States, who is responsible for the university's admissions from China, said they have had several inquiries from US universities about how to recruit Chinese students on the basis of their gaokao scores.
斯坦利•奈尔是美国旧金山大学国际关系学院的副院长，负责该校在中国的招生工作。他表示该校已经收到不少美国大学澳门新濠天地：如何根据中国学生的高考成绩招生的咨询。
The Test of English as a Foreign Language and the Scholastic Aptitude Test have long been two musts for students from other countries, including China, to apply to study in the US.
一直以来，包括中国在内的非欧美国家学生，想要申请美国学院就必须提供英语和SAT的成绩。
USF, a private university in California, started a pilot program to accept Chinese students based on their gaokao scores in 2015.
美国旧金山大学是一家私立院校，是第一家以高考成绩为基准接受中国学生的学院。
The idea came from USF President Paul Fitzgerald's belief that standardized tests like the SAT are not very good predictors of how well students will do at the university.
这个想法来自旧金山大学的校长保罗•菲兹杰拉德，他认为像SAT这样的标准化考试并不能准确测试学生未来在大学的表现。
"We are aware of the many criticisms that have been made of the gaokao, but it has the advantage of being what educational experts call a 'criterion-referenced' exam. It tests whether students are able to master a given body of knowledge, as well as their ability to work hard and consistently," he said.
他表示：“我们注意到，一直以来对高考的抨击不少，但是高考具有教育专家们所说的'标准参考考试'的优势：通过高考可以测试出学生么是否有能力掌握现有的知识体系，是否有能力保持刻苦、连续的学习。”
Outside the US, countries including Spain, Italy, Singapore, France and Australia also recognize gaokao scores
在美国以外的国家，包括西班牙，意大利，新加坡，法国，澳大利亚等国家也开始认可高考成绩。
More than 200 students from China requested an interview with USF last year.
去年超过200名的中国学生申请了旧金山大学的面试。
Seventy-four of them were selected for a follow-up interview, 44 received offers and 20 accepted the invitation and joined USF for the 2015 fall semester.
74名学生得到了二面机会，44名学生收到了录取书，最后有22名学生接受了通知书，成为该校2015级的新生。
Students admitted in this way have done "exceptionally well" in the past academic year, Nel added.
奈尔补充道，这些通过高考成绩录取的学生上个学期在学院的表现非常优秀。
The average GPA for all gaokao students is about 3.5 out of 4. For all other students-American and non-gaokao international students-the average GPA is 3.2, he said.
他说：“这些学生的平均绩点为3.5分(总分为4分)。而其它的学生，包括美国学生和通过非高考途径被录取学生的平均绩点则为3.2分。”
"This year we hope to recruit about 50 students in this way, and even more in years to come," he said.
他还表示，“今年我们打算通过高考成绩录取50名学生，未来通过这种途径接收的学生会澳门新濠天地游戏：。”
